I like them, what kind are those they look good. I was thinking of these for the barracuda at one time. I like those alot better.

Made by ION; there's not a lot of choices out there for the size this thing needs but I kind of like these.

I do to falcon, they kind of remind you of the old grey spoke wheels with the aluminum outer rim, very cool.

I kinda like the Torque Thrust look myself . Falcon what are they 16.5s finding anything in this size is a chore .

No, it's a 15". They're a 5x5.5 pattern with a 4.25" center. The only thing I can find with those specs are 4WD wheels and I'm just not finding many that I like. It's the big center that seems to be the sticking point. I wanted a stock steel wheel with a baby moon but nobody makes them with that big center unless you special order and pay. I'm still looking...

Try Rally America they can & will make just about anything & is a Family owned business. Plus they get great reviews from the members over on HAMB about thier work, price & delivery time..

I wonder how much a machine shop would charge to cut the center out of a smoothie for you?

I dont know, Brick. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip, Joe. I'll try them and see what they say. What do think of this for a logo? Some guy on the HAMB drew it.

That is cool falcon, I like it. That ol boy has some talent doesn't he?

I like it Falc.... i have a logo/name on my Bmer, Tazz which has a Tazmanian Devil etched into the rear side windows and a front plate that says "Tazz" being custom air brushed. I have a logo/name on my Lesabre " The Jolly Green Giant" on a custom front vanity plate that I created. I also have a logo/name on my Silverado a hand scripted name across the upper right side of the tail gate, my hot rodding moniker in fact " Mr. Wizard"... I Scream for the truck/van ur buildin is an EXCELENT LOGO!!!

I have logo/names on My Bmer, its called "Tazz" for Tazmanian Devil and has etchings of "The Tazmanian Devil on both side rear windows.
I have a logo/name on My Lesabre in the form of a hand painted front vanity plate that reads" It's The Jolly Green Giant"
I have a Name/Logo across the upper right side of the tail gate on my Silverado, its my given Hot Rodding Title from back in the 60's " Mr. Wizard " given to me by a competitor and friend as a compliment for my ability in hot rodding to do more with less, like the Wizard in the famous Wizard of OZ movies.
I believe ur proposed Logo?Name is even better than any of those in that it more aptrly decribes the vehicle its proposed to b attached to much better IMHO than any of mine does any of my vehicles, and my present SDilverado is the 4th vehicle i have owned to wear that moniker, my 1st was a 57 Chevy Short box step side custom cab with which I earned the name, later i affixed it to a 69 built stage 1 455 powered 69 Skylark coupe, next it applied to a 75 WS6 Trans AM which had the engine from the Skylark in front of its factory original 4spd trans, tho the Skylark was a Built TH400 auto w/ 2800RPM converter. You GO Falc, although ur beginin to really make the rest of us LOOK really bad and lazy ....LOL....J/K

I dont know, Wiz; there's been some cool, unusual stuff built on here but I'd have to say a big block Bmer is pretty near the top of the list for "cool". I dont think i'm capable of making you look lazy.

LOL, thanx Falc...respomnses like that kinda pay the tab on doin things wlike what we do, im sure NONE of us expect to get all or even most of our money out of em in cash, let alone or love and labor...responses like that from fellow crafters has to b what we do it for MOST...u know impress our peers...
...thanx again

I second that Mrwizard, we don't usually build a car to expect big profits. It is satisfying to get acknowledgements from the best builders in the country.

I got my fuel tank in and the lines leaked like a sive. I guess it was bad when I parked in and just got worse by sitting all year. Anyway I am going hard line all the way, I may get to start it today yet. This crap is killing me!!! LOL!! You know how it is guys, I want to hear her run!
